Premier League 2024-2025: Chelsea-Everton, the likely lineups

Chelsea and Everton open Saturday’s 34th Premier League matchday. Kickoff at Stamford Bridge at 1:30 p.m. The Blues will try to build on the previous round’s success with Fulham to continue their chase toward a Champions League spot, while the Toffies, now already safe, will try to end the league on a high note, moving even closer to the middle of the table.

Maresca is expected to bet on Jackson as central forward, with Palmer, Madueke and Pedro Neto as trequartists. In the median, Enzo Fernandez and Caicedo are confirmed.

Few changes for Moyes as well, who should reintroduce Beto as center forward, with Doucouré,Ndiaye and Harrison ready to slot in behind him. In defense, protecting Pickford, there will be Keane and Branthwaite in the center, with O’Brien and Mykolenko as full-backs.
